Front wheels coming of the ground?

Front wheels coming of the ground?
Ok I know it sounds crazy but heres the story. I was just driving around and seen an old friend in his new Vette. I was just goofing off he was coming towards me and I stepped on it in first. I knew the front end lifted quit a bit but he says he saw a gap between the front tires and the pavement not much but a inch or so. Only thing I can think of is all my mounts are shot and suspension. I do not belive this is possible with a fwd. This was on flat ground and I didn't hit any bumbs. Ever heard of this?

This can and does happen due to any one or combination of the above mentioned issues. Remove enough weight from the front as it is pushed to the rear, then add strut, and mount issues and you've got a tire that may momentarily bounce/skip off the pavement. However, clearly it is not likely to acheive what you would see in a powerful rear wheel drive that gets traction where both wheels achieve several inches to feet off the road.

SAFETY ISSUE: All shock absorbers have lost 50% after 60kmiles on 'most used' area -and- they should be replaced regardless of what numbers inspection gives and friends/mama say$. One can only realize the difference after swap: creep/start/brake ability in snow, curves on slippery roads - drastic change
Generally air tends to be somewhat more slippery brake-medium than asphalt.
